I do not and will not entertain "people are hampering play by being silly in the first hours of day 1". I don't know why anyone does and that's why I soft vote against electing Department of Health.

@MOD

The puppetmaster's daytime identity guess solely relies on the dice roll and not an actual guess, right? Also, does being minister prevent you from being targeted by that daytime ability, and/or simply having had been targeted by it before makes you immune?

That wasn’t even me, I just sort of agreed with it.

All I said was it wasn’t helpful to me which was true, so you’re ms interpreting my intention. You’re taking it as a criticism which wasn’t what I meant at all.

[Department of Health]

Nobody here stands out as particularly towny to me right now. I'm getting the impression that people are afraid of giving away too much info, but it's hampering the game right now.

A valid strategy is to semi-randomly vote someone in as minister here, they then become immune to becoming a puppet and can speak freely and lead the town.
Of course, we have a 1/7 chance of losing, but it is what it is.

I was thinking we could delegate this decision to either environment or health, with the caveat that they can't pick themselves.

Can you explain the mechanics because I’m a bit confused. As long as we don’t vote the PM today, we’re good and if we elect two more ministers, we win.

I agree, your post is probably the most helpful one so far, which unfortunately doesn’t tell us much.

I don’t like Tweets. They clearly mixed up my post with Culture.

You mean the game mechanics?

Voting puppet master is a loss, but voting out puppets is good because it removes that puppet from play and blocks the creation of new puppets for that night. Voting three Ministers is a town win, and I believe Ministers stay alive once elected.

I took the lack of action taken from you/environment to mean we weren't going with that plan in post 13, which is fine.

I’m just trying to get a handle on the game. Can you please requote that post for me?

[Department of Health]

So far, I like Dept of Culture, I’m getting good vibes from them.

right, my bad. I'm sorry, that was directed at DoC; I was against their attitude and suggestion we vote for you, not against you in particular. The "soft vote against" doesn't have TOO much to do with you personally, just that 1) DoC suggested it, therefore I reacted opposingly and 2) you mentioining a lack of alignment-readable posts or otherwise helpful information IRL day 1 is a possible maf tactic- jumping on trying to look town early. Just to be clear I don't maf read you, but I don't town read you which is why I wouldn't vote for you at the moment.

This doesn't make sense, why are you opposed to me suggesting other people should make decisions?

[Department of Culture]

To be clear, I didn't suggest that we vote for Department of Health, I suggested that they or Environment, both of who hadn't posted yet, would come in and solo elect somebody (not themselves) for the vote

[Department of Education]

Department of Tweets is obvscum so I think we win.

or link to make it easier for me to read post #13 obviously because I’m still not sure which post you’re referring to. When I try to locate posts without quotes or links, I sometimes don’t find the correct one.

Why?

[Department of Education]

The scumread on me is forced.

This was what I was suggesting we do, but then it didn't happen, and then I decided to vote for Environment instead, because I liked their posts the most.

[Department of Tweets]

oh
that's true
point is I didn't want to start getting serious so quickly. And also, I was concerned with a maf!you possibly pocketing DoH or Kai. Whether that be in the form of suggesting we elect them (my mistake, didn't reread properly) or delegating to them the decision of who to elect.

Like, if you'd done all this *later*, I wouldn't think so much of it. Whatever.

[Department of Agriculture]

How do we solve this game?

[Department of Agriculture]

Let's just vote Tweets and win this for the homies?

[Department of Agriculture]

I'm so freaking obvtown and anyone who doesn't see that is a liar or scum. I'll quote the post where you scumread me and put it in my sig forever to show you how bad you are.

The game is interesting and I could see it going one way or another. Some players are posting and some aren't, and a few have been townier than others, while others have been scummier. So far I can't say anything with 100% certainty but I have some feelings in a few places. Mostly following my gut for now but if I see anything that catches my eye I'll post. If anyone has any questions for me or wants to know my thoughts on a topic, just ask.

[Department of Agriculture]

I have a really busy day so I might have to V/LA for a week. If I find time, I'll post after dinner, but most likely don't expect any VCA from me for another month.

But when I do get around to this game, I will be very present.
